@WeMammographers Thank you @WeMammographers - I'm so glad as that's probably the most important one we need to rumble with. Go well.

[All Mammographers @WeMammographers]

Listening to @CoughlanAlison really resonated with me today. Everything she said rang so true.
This slide has to be my takeaway message. Put yourself first. So hard to do as a healthcare worker. #ASMIRT2022

Excited to be at #ASMIRT2022 for the plenary session

@mariamtokhi I've started a new habit of reading a chapter of a book each morning as I eat breakfast rather than scrolling on my phone (which I used to do). I am on my fifth book already from a large pile that I just kept adding to but never reading!

I am looking forward to joining the powerhouse that is Verena Voelter and Sharee Johnson today at 5pm to discuss a series of critical topics and explore ‘Resilience’, a topic close to my heart.

Join us! https://t.co/XX6YSkaqBc

Even before the pandemic, burnout was a big issue for the #Disability & #AgedCare sectors. Take a look at this article from @CoughlanAlison in @AustAgeAgenda to learn 4 important actions leaders can take to support employee #Wellbeing as well as their own: https://t.co/0628MfTr8a

I offer these pro bono for organisations in the health and social sector. I invite you to book a Zoom call to discuss your needs if any of these topics resonate for you. #burnout #keynote #resiliencerevolution

Our final 60 to 90 second stress relief technique is to actually give yourself permission to not be okay and to take compassionate action to bring yourself some relief.

Fun and games! Finding ways to mix it up when we have limited contact beyond our household has been important in filling my bucket in the past couple of years. A game of cards always brings out a healthy sense of rivalry and a few laughs in these challenging times
